Our company wants to upgrade from a Novel Client network to a pure
windows server. Unfortunately multi user indexed file access stops
working on our legacy software: (DOS COBOL.EXE - Microsoft COBOL
Compiler Version 2.20 (C)Copyright Microsoft Corp. 1982-87), which runs
under ISAM: (NISAM.EXE - MS-ISAM (C) Copyright 1984, 1987 by Microsoft
Corp Version 3.12)
Is there a newer NISAM.EXE out there that might work? We dont want to
upgrade the complier itself too far or we will have to convert all our
existing code (which will be rewritten again in c# sometime after we
are on the windows server).
Does anyone know of patches, have access to more recent NISAM''s, or
know server settings that might allow multi user cobol under windows
server to work?
